Baker's Single Barrel Bourbon 7 Year

Nutty beam profile on the nose, notes of vanilla and caramel. On the palate, burnt caramel, vanilla, and rye spice. Strong, spicy finish which lingers, which notes of smoke and cinnamon. Strong Kentucky hug.

This is a significant step down from the old Baker’s Small Batch I just tasted. Nose: Ethanol, corn syrup, vanilla, saw dust and peanuts. Palate: Semisweet, corn, vanilla, some heat, hints of baking spices, caramel and leather. Finish: Medium length with a little heat, barrel spice and sweetness. Not objectionable, but not something I will buy again.

Pear on the nose with baking spices on the palate and medium short finish

Strong oak, honey, and green apple on the nose with considerable ethanol. Palate has typical bourbon notes (oak, honey, caramel) with not many unique notes. Medium finish that is surprisingly sweet. This is a good sipper, but it doesn’t really have anything overly unique about it. I wouldn’t seek it out, but I enjoyed drinking it.
